Fruity Marshmallow Frozen Treats with Rice Flour

IMAGE

This is a frozen dessert made with rice flour and heavy cream. Make it several days in advance to let the flavors and texture blend together.

Tips:
  • Freeze for 5-6 hours in a loaf pan and cut into slices or freeze overnight in popsicle molds. Alternatively, stir every hour or two to make shaved ice cream.

  • All rice flour is naturally gluten-free. Make this dish completely gluten-free by using gluten-free substitutes for other ingredients as needed.
